-
Invest in developing a mutual understanding of expectations, motivations, and values between the new hires and management.
-
Penning down your diversity policies helps concretize a company culture.
-
Language is key to creating an inclusive environment. Sensible use of linguistic artefacts helps keeping unconscious biases in check.

Celebratory events should be programmed strategically to enable women to also take part and feel comfortable - e.g. avoid overly boisterous parties, late night/overnight events.
